In their first meet with Gilman and Piper City, Onarga captured more firsts but did not win, being second to Gilman. Dannehl was high man for Onarga with three firsts. Next was Piper City and we did very well this time. We came home with first, by scoring 75% points. Gilman and Stockland were our next foes, and even though improved, Gilman again defeated us. Dannehl and Bottorff each registered double wins with Archer getting three. The County Track Meet came next and Onarga did itself up proud. We weren’t expected to get more than 20 points at the most, but the track men came through for 41 points and second place. We registered in both the low and high hurdles and first in the 440. Many of the other boys helped tremendously in the thirds and seconds to bring the total up. Within three days Onarga went to the V. V. meet and again came home in second place. We took first in the 100, third in the shot and 440, third in high jump also. We again registered wins in both high and low hurdles. Onarga took six boys to the District meet — C. Bailey in the 880, Raymond Neal in the mile, Bottorff, discus, Dannehl, 440 and Varsity Relay, Archer, both hurdles and relay team. The relay team consisted of Archer, Dannehl, Hanner, and Bottorff. Dannehl and Archer were the only ones to place with Dannehl fifth in 440 and Archer second in both hurdles. 24

The new band uniforms finally arrived. Beautiful maroon caps and capes make the band one of the sharpest around here. The bank took a journey to Hoopeston for the district contest. This is the first time they have done this in a long time. They brought home a second rating and made everyone proud of them. They played at the concert in the spring and also played for the Seniors as they marched in for Commencement. Mr. Fehr again ably directed these people and he should be given a lot of credit and praise as should everyone who participated in the band. 26
